Berken Family: Month long road trip :)

We packed it all (and I mean all) up and went on a looooooong road trip. First stop was Green Bay for a few weeks to some some quality time with Grandpa and Da. We also saw lots of extended family, Great Grandma & Pa, mom's Florida family, met my new cousin Marlee Mae and made many stops at parks, the zoo, Bay Beach, picking strawberries and perch frys :) And we spent a long weekend at the cottage on the Bay with some of mom & dad's best friends and their kiddos. It was awesome. What wasn't awesome was nap times (or lack of) and Olive's decision to ONLY sleep on the boob. Not fun for mom. Minor though, in the grand scheme of things. It was a blast. Next stop was LaCrosse, WI to see mom and dad's good friends, Joe & Jac get hitched. It was one of the most beautiful weddings ever and we had a great time. We slept in hotels, stayed up late and ate whatever we wanted. Yikes. Then we were off to Yankton, SD for 2 nights to go to mom and dad's friend, Cody's Celebration of Life. He lost the battle with thymic cancer, but left such a lasting love of life that will forever live on. It was at a beautiful park with bouncy houses, sno-cones and mechanical bulls (Cody's instructions before he left) :) We also went to the beach and got to meet a lot of mom & dad's friends from their days in Alaska. After a month of living out of suitcases and the truck, it is soooooooo good to be home :)
